Nested Columns in a Sharepoint List

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a Yes/ No Column named Fruit in a Sharepoint List. I want to have a nested column under Fruit so that if someone selects Yes there is an additional column that gives two choices: Strawberry or Banana. Like this:

 

List Name: Classifying Food

 

Fruit

    Yes

         Strawberry

         Banana

   No

 

How do I do this in a SharePoint list?

This my first-time using Power Apps so a very detailed step by step instruction would be very helpful.

    You don't "nest" the columns in a List per se. For something like a descriptor, you can add a column to your List (perhaps called Food Descriptor?) and then conditionally show that in your app using the Visible property on a control.

     

    For example, in your app if you have a dropdown is Yes/No for Fruit, you could access its selected value through

    ddFruit.Selected.Value

    and then use logical expressions on the Visible property of another dropdown to pick the kind of fruit:

    ddFruit.Selected.Value = "Yes" //or
    ddFruit.Selected.Value // if the dropdown is producing a true/false value

     Then the second dropdown will appear for the users to interact with

     

    Make sense?
